JimmyC (James Cochran) is an Australian street artist who paints Impression-inspired murals using the 'dot' or 'line' technique with spray paint. The dots and lines are added in different colours in order to create a texture and highlights/shadows. JimmyC's work is global, and the portrait he made of David Bowie in Brixton has probably made him even more popular.
JimmyC painted his heart design on Redchurch Street at the end of last year, and he also painted a Shakespeare mural on the south bank to honor the special year for the bard. The newest addition to his work in London is located on Brick Lane and titled "Mick's Hands". According to his Facebook page (1), the subject is known as Mick Taylor, who lived in the Brick Lane area for fifty years.
